Hi all,
Before I start, being the over protective over thinking ridiculous frist time mom is my biggest niggle in my head making everything a million times harder!
During my pregnancy I have been off work a few times already due to being hospitalised with probable dvt, hyperemisis and dehydration. I have had problems with my kidneys since a child and they failed after an op in Feb where I had a catheter and was on a drip for a week.
Today I have decided to yet again go off work and I can't help feeling guilty about my colleagues! I'm also really worried about disciplinary at work.
I found out I was pregnant the day I started my new job which came as a shock as I was told I would never have kids and I was actually on the pill. Occupational health have sent letters stating I should change my 10 hour shifts to 8 to help with symptoms and illness.
I've always been a sicky person to the extent I sometimes feel I just make it up even when I feel extremely unwell. (Crazy I know).
I now have a kidney infection that's causing serious pain in my right side and just feel generally groggy. Am I doing right by going off work or should I be sucking it up?
I just feel so crappy about it all. Sorry to moan... everyone needs to now and then!
